Shion no Ou - The Flowers of Hard Blood — About this game
Main mode follows Shion Yasuoka through a game-specific story whose events advance after challenges. Choose Normal, Hard or Meijin according to experience; Normal hints let newcomers follow the story. Match mode offers eight characters with individual playing styles, and you can also watch computer opponents. Begin with Saori and Ayumi's lessons if pieces are unfamiliar, then try a Normal event before a full match. Knowing how a piece moves is more useful than rushing to imitate an advanced opening.
